EXTRA: Do You Like Me‪?‬ The Dischourse

You thought we wouldn't talk about 2000s era emo when talking about Rites of Spring? What started off as a joke take when recording an intro for Episode 5 ending up becoming a whole lot more. We dive into a site, Fourfa.com, that seemingly defined our teen years and gave a framework for what it meant to be a punk and emo fan in the early 00s. From there, we naturally ended up getting into the conversation every teenager had to have in 2003: “Is this even emo?” Plus, we fondly remember a truly problematic curio from this time: The Emo Game.
